Hi
The new notebook I bought in korea has Korean Windows XP installed
Where can I find English Win XP Home and how much will it cost me here in Korea?
Im disappointed in that I now have to pay extra money on top of the computer I bought. I didnt realize it would have Korean windows installed
I didnt check, stupid me
Whats the cheapest way to get around this problem or is there any cheap way?
Thx |

Get a refund if it's not too late and buy another notebook that comes with Windows Vista unless you don't want to use Vista?

Just ask the vendor first. There is a chance they may do a favor for you. |

YOu can get a LEGAL copy for about 110k won at Yongsan (the microsoft kiosk or MS-shop) in the terminal building (the big blue one).
You can get an unauthorized distribution of XP or Vista (version of your choice) on torrents. |

| Hmm...110,000 or free....I choose free. Been using my version of (hacked) vista ultimate x64 for two years now and zero problems...that's 110,000 you could spend on US beef or whiskey. |
